Swamp kauri, coiled into something between a snake mid-slither and a rope someone dropped in a hurry. Carved with a patience that doesn’t announce itself, it holds tension in every curve – as if it might, very slowly, keep moving. Equal parts ancient timber and held breath.

Karen often uses reclaimed native timber in her work, carving it into new abstract forms that accentuate the material’s tone and texture. When each piece is selected, it is transformed into art and Karen sees it as breathing life back into what was once part of a building and before that, a forest. Karen is also skilled in bronze work, often taking inspiration from the smallest native specimen such as a puha (watercress) leaf, and enhancing its natural beauty through casting a large but delicate wall work.
